Etro Magot is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1989, created by Jacques Flori. Magot opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Rose, and Iris, settles into a heart of Lavender and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Etro's Magot carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a real head-scratcher; a divisive, shapeshifting scent that's either a complex, calming masterpiece or an 'old, weird, and awful' mess, depending on who you ask. Try before you buy, definitely.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Magot opens with a bright, almost tart, citrus burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly joined by a delicate, powdery iris and a subtle rose. The heart introduces a surprising aromatic warmth from lavender and clove, creating a unique, somewhat waxy blend that shifts between herbaceous and floral. As it dries down, a soft, creamy vanilla and earthy patchouli emerge, grounded by a clean musk and cedar, offering a refined, slightly retro finish.
